9/11 – courage and sorrow; Cross & Crown – healing
By
9/11. Its a simple symbol made of four quick touches of the keyboard. Yet, what this simple symbol represents still weighs heavy on sad hearts and minds. To some it means courage. To others, vulnerability, fear, uncertainty, and sorrow. Yet, there is another symbol. A symbol, I’ve found, that can help. It can help heal the pain and anguish caused by the misguided actions of others.
The Cross and Crown, I’ve learned, is a symbol of meekness and might. These qualities combined heal long lasting wounds.
The cross symbolizes sacrifice, selfless acts, tender and powerful love. Ten years ago, first responders at the World Trade Center expressed these qualities. These qualities lived enable us to utilize innate spiritual power. The crown symbolizes this power and dominion. People around the world are discovering their God-given authority and their power to mentally rule out evil, thereby banishing anguish, hate, and fear.
Jesus sacrificed himself. He carried the cross to his own crucifixion. Then he thoroughly overcame evil when he rose from the tomb. It could be said that he wore a crown of victory. And yes, because of Jesus’ actions, the Cross and Crown used together are considered a symbol of Christianity. However, unselfed love and moral and spiritual might are a part of most belief systems. Christ, I’ve learned, is God’s healing power. Jesus completely embodied the Christ. The Christ is within each of us. The Christ enables us to be and do good.
9/11, as a symbol of a confused few who refused to love, live unselfishly, and use dominion over carnal temptations, can yield to love and might symolized by the Cross and Crown. Therefore, today and every day, I will attempt to exchange one for the other. I will love more, and to some degree, embrace the spiritual authority of Christ. I will stop being afraid. I will stop hating. Yes, I will try. I hope you will too.

What do you realize regarding Christ?
The following are a few thoughts on Christ: Christ is the healing and saving power of God. Christ is the divine eraser, God’s spiritual muscle and might that takes away pain and hurt. Christ is within each one of us telling us how special we are. Christ is our true selfhood; our unbreakable relation to God; our oneness with God; the spiritual idea of God.
Christ is God’s divine message always present in consciousness. Christ reverses whatever is wrong in human experience; and eventually replaces so-called human life itself with our true Life which is divine. Jesus was the individual, who allowed Christ to complete this transformation, giving a full example for you, me, and everyone. It was not the person of Jesus, but the Christ, that was and is the healer of disease and sin.
